4BUFFALO has recently had two delightful additions to its musical circles, viz., Mr. and Mrs. Grounds, recently from Ottawa, Canada. Mr. Grounds is the efficient organist at the Church of the Holy Angels, Porter avenue. Mrs. Grounds is the charming soprano who was so enthusiastically received at one of Lady Minto's receptions.

102At their evenings with music and musical history the pupils of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Davidson are proving what benefits are derived from years of faithful work with the classics.

114A pleasing Thanksgiving concert was given at St. Stephen's Church by the popular Carbone sisters; P. E. Kenney, of Rochester, tenor; Miss Lilly Hoenig, soprano, of Lockport; T. A. Reilly, baritone; Miss Josephine Kroll, soprano; Wm. Hart, baritone, and John Miller, violinist. Aside from the solos and duet of the Carbone sisters, the most delightful number was the "Ave Verum," a trio, composed by Prof. Frank Hanrahan, and given by Misses Shea, Bennett and Cowing.
116The first concert of the Buffalo Saengerbund (season 1901-2), at German-American Hall, Monday evening, proved a triumph for the new director, Arthur Plagge, who comes to this city from Syracuse, where he has been director of the Liederkranz, one of the best known musical organizations in New York State. Mrs. Agnes Champeaux, of Syracuse, sang two solos; she has a sweet soprano voice of wide range. The enthusiasm of the evening was won by Frederick Lower, of Pittsburg, who gave several cornet solos with a mellow tone and brilliant execution.
118One of the most delightful entertainments of the season is promised for December 13, at the Twentieth Century Club by several of Buffalo's most popular artists. Mrs. Laura Dietrich-Minehan, contralto, will sing "Daddy," a Nevin selection, and "The Brook and the Wave," by Henry Lautz, of Buffalo, and as a second number "Love Is Springtime," by Victor Herbert. Mrs. Herbert Mickle will play a group of piano solos—"Consolation," by Arensky; "Witches' Dance," by MacDowell; "En Route," by Godard. Mrs. Burton Fletcher will give "The History Lesson," "L'Aiglon"; "Two Incidents in Mario's Life," and Mr. Robert Burton, tenor, will present "Claribel," by Lambeth; "Obstination," by De Fontenailles, and "Come Into the Garden, Maud," by Balfe. Mrs. Nellie M. Gould will be the accompanist.
120The Musical Courier representative was one of the party of Buffalonians who had the great pleasure of attending at Jamestown, Thursday evening, the delightful concert given in the armory by Madame Belle Weaver Cole, the noted contralto, of London, England; Raimund Pechotsch, the Austrian boy violinist, and Miss Barlow, of Jamestown, accompanist. Madame Cole and Master Pechotsch have just returned from a long and most artistically successful Australian concert tour, and their many admirers regret exceedingly that this season they give in the United States only the one concert at Madame Cole's birthplace, and hope that next year a series may be given here by them.
122In the following program Madame Cole's magnificent voice was heard to greatest advantage in the stirring "Creation's Hymn" and the aria from "Don Carlos," while in the lighter selections and numerous encores her wealth of tenderness and sympathy swayed her listeners. Rarely does any one artist possess such a marvelous range, power and sweetness of voice, such an abundance of temperament, such perfect enunciation, and render her selections with such varied tone colorings and perfect phrasing.
124Although Master Pechotsch is but fifteen he is already an artist—a master of the violin—rendering the most difficult selections with the greatest ease and assurance. His tone is full, sweet and sympathetic, his fingering facile and his bowing firm. The mature musician was evident in his interpretation of the Beethoven sonata, and an astonishing technic (for his years) was displayed in other selections.
126Much of the artistic success of the evening was due to Miss Barlow's ideal accompaniments and in her beautiful rendering of the Beethoven sonata nothing was left to be desired:
127Sonata, G major………………………………………Beethoven
128Song, Creation's Hymn……………………………….Beethoven
129Air Varie……………………………………………….Vieuxtemps
130Aria, O Don Fatale (Don Carlos)…………………..Verdi
131Hungarian Dance…………………………………….Hubay
132Songs—
133The Sweetest Flower…………………………………C. B. Hawley
134In May Time…………………………………………..Dudley Buck
135Reverie………………………………………………….Vieuxtemps
136Song, Entreat Me Not to Leave Thee (Ruth)……..Gounod
137Carnaval De Venise…………………………………..Paganini
138Song, The Fisher Song……………………………….Pease
139Mme. Belle Cole. N. M. G.
141A broad and appreciative audience was present, and people were much impressed by the wonderful rendering under the direction of Mr. Plagge. The program was summing up in its variety and in the number of its pictures, and the audience was much pleased. One could not help but feel that the concert was a most enjoyable one, and that the director was doing a most unusual and creditable work for the Saengerbund organization. The director's ability to get the best out of the singers, which is one of the most difficult things in the world, was difficult to appreciate. The songs from "Cedric," "Cedric Cadiz," and "Cedric," which were the last numbers, were the best of the evening, and the director was able to get a note of pathos out of the songs which was not in the standard songs.
